great trip

well 13.5 hours isnt so bad to spend cooped up in a car with the family whom you love. there was minimal fighting ,crying,biting,hitting,crying,crying in the car. the kids were really good too. we had a great time visiting whats left of the detroit Zacks and we realized all the 30 other people that were at the dinner are untapped possibilities for weekly brunch and bbq's. why cant arlan and his girls pop on over for a sunday morning brunch with charlene's brother and aunt roz's duaghter? mom would love it too.
we've established after 2 intense games with arye that there isn't much betting in dominoes and Bubba's rules don't hold up in dominoes, they're reserved for scrabble and rummikub.
the kids had a great time seeing the cousins and bubbie and zayde and sarra and batch and A&V and S & N. (and i'm sure they cared that the stareshefsky's were there too)
well i'm exhausted from driving and not sleeping very much (only one eye at a time), Devorah DID offer to drive this leg of the trip but by the time i turned around to accept she was already sleeping.
well its bed time
have a good week.
next year in J'lem
